Spicer lets the cat out of the bag on Syria when he presents Russia as one of our possible ‘allies’

White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer’s job is to sling a boat-load of Trump’s BS until the day CNN or Fox News offers him a lucrative deal to stump for the Republican Party as a political pundit. He’s been working on talking solely about ISIS, Syria, war and bombs ever since orange President Trump’s public relations coup. The big question now is what is Trump’s plan for Syria after successfully destroyed a family of Syrian ants living on part of a runway.

Deescalating the conflict there containing ISIS is the greatest aspect of humanitarian relief that we can provide first and foremost. Secondly, creating areas in which we can work with allies, including Russian, and committing to ensuring that there are places that are free from violence and there are places that are free for people to gather, is another.

Huh. That’s an interesting thing to say. Is Iran one of those “allies?” I had no idea how closely Russia and the United States were working in creating and fostering safe spaces together. Sure, there will be a day when people like Vladimir Putin will pass away and hopefully both our countries will be able to forgive one another and make better decisions together for the health of everyone—but that’s not what is going on here.
